Haiti has declined to join neighboring Dominican Republic in reopening a key border crossing for trade
Haiti declined Thursday to join neighboring Dominican Republic in reopening a key commercial border crossing, leaving some trade at a standstill and prolonging a diplomatic crisis over the construction of a canal on Haitian soil. Dominican President Luis Abinader had closed all borders including the crossing at the northern Dominican city of Dajabon for nearly a month to protest the construction of the canal, which he says violates a treaty and will take water needed by Dominican farmers.
Haiti’s government has said farmers urgently need the water to quench a drought that has killed crops in the region. Abinader has said that construction of the canal violates a 1929 treaty and would affect local farmers and nearby wetlands. On Thursday, former Haitian prime minister and presidential candidate Claude Joseph issued a statement rejecting allegations by a Dominican ambassador that he had ordered work on the canal in order to provoke a crisis with the Dominican Republic.
